How do I
search the books? |
You can search
any books through our web site. A search box is available at the top of every
page throughout the site. Select a Search Type, enter the search text in the
box, and click "Go". You may list words in any order. If you are
unsure of the complete title, enter any known words in any combination. To
narrow your search, include more keywords or words of the title. A Keyword
search will typically return more results than a Title search. If searching for
a book, search by ISBN. It will only return one title. For Title and Keyword
searches, the top 3 popular titles are listed first. The remaining results are
listed alphabetically according to title. You can also search books by
subject. You can view a list of all the major subject categories and then click
a subcategory to view the books. Up to 20 items will be displayed on one page,
if more than 20 items are found, click the Next >> link to view the
next page of entries. You can return to the previous page by clicking the <<
Prev link.|

How come not
all of the stores you say you search show up in the result? | |
Stores do not show up in the
result sometimes because the store is down or slow in responding to our
search, it may be timed out before it has returned a search
result. This problem are usually temporary and it will be added to our result as
soon as it returns a search result. | |
| |
How come you
show price of the book I want is different from what bookstore charges?
| |
Most likely the difference is
due to the currency exchange rate, we convert the price to the currency
you want to display according to the up-to-date currency exchange rate from
Yahoo! Finance. Another case could be that we show the price using the discount
coupon. When you go to the bookstore to order book, enter the coupon code
at checkout to receive the discounted price.
